Module development and code questions

i've been customizing the user profile pages by creating a user_profile.tpl.php and hooking to it from theme.php. i've used this section of the handbook for inspriation:

http://drupal.org/node/35728

i'm now trying to display the online status of users for chat programs (aim, msn, etc.) via the onlinestatus module.

i'm stuck on how to get the status displayed on the new profile pages.

i'm calling this within the user_profile.tpl.php and it doesn't display anything:

Here is shows my latest release is cvs:
http://drupal.org/node/71192/

But the most up to date version is in 4.7, which is reflected here by the last updated date:
http://drupal.org/node/71192/release

There must be something I have to do in cvs... can anyone help?
Thank you!

Thanks.

I just started recentrly with drupal and atm I'm (tring) to make some sort of enrollement module.
I've come to the point that i need forms but the thing is:
I can display my forms and all, but the layout isn't good.

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with displaying information saved with a flexinode type..

What is happening is that I have a node-flexinode.tpl.php template where all rendering for node of that flexinode type will be done..
